This book shop is a total diamond in the ruff! I was in my element from the moment I walked in there, everything was easy to find and the shop as a whole is beautifully laid out. The staff were so friendly and talkative and were happy to talk about the books they stock. They have amazing discounts and sales and around good prices! I will definitely be buying from there again! And one of the best parts about it, they use gorgeous little paper bags.

Such a lovely bookshop with staff who have time to talk about the books they sell! They are also very helpful in locating the books you want even if you don't know all the details. Great discounts and a beautiful selection of books. And not to forget...they still use proper paper bags!

Excellent customer service & friendly staff , if your not sure that you are a manny & peddi girl, give so hair & nails a go, you will be converted.

I can't thank these girls enough for getting me 'wedding ready' earlier this month: Zoe-scissorhands-Legerton who always makes a great job of my hair; Bella for rescuing my broken nails, advising on colour, and shaping and finishing them to perfection; and last but not least, Sadie, who stayed behind at the end of her shift to touch up my roots for the big day. You girls rock. Thank you xxx

This store has excellent, friendly service. They're always chatting to customers and made me feel very welcome as a first time customer at their store. The prices are good and they treat their regular customers well. 10/10 service

Great little place, just what a comic book store should be. Very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly staff too.
A family favourite from the 9 yr old to the grownups!

Car Accessories -

Great product with perfect results just a bit of patience needed and you can get great results all chips gone

The Chipex kit was perfect for touching in the small chips on my red Fiat Panda, the colour was perfect match, with care and following instructions it gave a brilliant and professional result. Just about to order a kit for another car!

Car Audio Equipment

I needed a tyre urgently on a Sunday. I took it there and they didn’t have my size in stock. The mechanic directed me to kwik fit and told me that if they gave me a long wait time, just to buy the tyre there and bring it back and he would fit it. I did just that: he fitted it in 10 minutes and didn’t even want to charge me. Amazing service.

Young man from north east Dan I think was very helpful, great customer service. I will be using Halfords more in future .

Car Dealers

Sold my car to them. Very friendly and efficient. Much better than webuyanycar!

We received excellent customer service. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. The process was swift. I would definitely recommend this dealership for someone who is looking to buy a car at best price, this is the place to be.

Absolutely the best car buying experience in my 37 years of buying and owning over 30 cars.
The guys here sure know how to treat their customers! Friendly, patient, caring with a can do attitude. They never push you to buy and will spend time to explain, offer support to you if you do decide to buy and help you through the purchasing process with respect and honesty.
Great place to buy a new Hyundia😁.
Big thanks to Matt, Paul and Dave👍

I'm very disabled, have been for the last eighteen years, always been with ford for my mobility vehicles.
So good for after care always happy to help.

Recently purchased a Ford Fiesta from this dealership and I would 100% recommend this dealership to anybody looking to purchase a car, in particular Robert Cross was a brilliant sales man who was able to cater for my needs and queries in a quick and easy manor. If your looking at a new purchase then I would say Hartwell Banbury are the guys to go to.

Hard to fault - as ever. The best prices around for miles with a full range of facilities. Decent little shop which always seems well staffed. Large forecourt with lots of space. Despite the space it does get very busy - but that's life. If only every petrol station was like this one...

Long wait for petrol - there was work going on at the site and so only about 75% of the pumps were working
Had to wait about ten mins and not peak time - Thu morning
Pay at pump though which is always useful
Unusually for Tesco petrol not that much cheaper than other places in the area - usually far cheaper
Guess there isn't a supermarket petrol war in Banbury ??

Motorcycle and Scooters

Damien and his team are very friendly, extremely helpful, and do a good job. Back in February they had my Triumph Speedmaster in for new tyres, chain and sprockets and some minor adjustment of the foot controls, and they did a fine job. They are not the cheapest, although their prices are reasonable, but you get what you pay for, and so I would say they are good value for the quality of the work. Bike going back in for service and MOT shortly. Recommended.

Amazing service , reasonable labour prices and proper friendly blokes , happy to chat about bikes with passion and they really know their onions. Think again before heading for your branded franchise dealer , better finishing touches from these guys !

These guys have gained a new customer today ! Went here to have my carbs balanced ... 100% recommend! They were friendly and fairly priced too ! Not a hassle at all and now my bike is running sweeter than ever!

Replaced my tyres with the minimum of fuss. They didn't damage the alloy wheels, unlike others I have tried in the past and Max the Manager was helpful and not in anyway patronising. He couldn't do enough for me.
I really felt special and not just a customer.

Very understanding and friendly staff. Quick and thorough service. Honoured a price we had seen elsewhere. I was looked after as I had my new born with me.

We did not think we were in a charity shop is what we heard someone saying near us after visiting this store. Very well laid out with everything you could ever need to start your own home. And at such great prices as well, all the volunteers were very helpful and friendly and really seemed to be enjoying themselves. If I was starting out again I would definitely recommend this store from banbury.

Good selection of furniture at good prices. Friendly staff and flexible collection policies.

Good range of men's, women's and kid's clothes. Different ranges available which have different clothing styles, depending on the range prices can vary but all very good quality and they sell school uniform at amazing prices! Despite the range find the tops are the correct sizes but the bottoms come up a lot smaller. Staff are lovely but the Matalan card thing is extremely frustrating and have been disappointed since the homeware section's size has been reduced and made tiny. There is also a car park on the door step!

Very happy with my visit, got what I wanted with no pushy sales people. Found they can validate your car park ticket, but only for an hour. So handy if you expect to be quick.

Mens Clothes

Knowledgable, friendly and willing to really problem solve when an issue is thrown their way. Last minute tux hire and they delivered (they admitted luck was on my side), given there are proms, corporate events etc going on. Reasonable price and decently maintained hire tux's. I've been three years in a row now for a black tie event hire.

Great service. I've rented from Henry's for a few years now and recently decided to buy. Very personalised service with a good attention to detail.

Brilliant shop about time Banbury had a decent clothes shop nice friendly shop with top quality clothes.

My flight comes in Birmingham at midnight and I should be in Banbury by 2.30 am, looking forward to getting some clobber at 3am. Progressive opening times... especially for some on the graveyard shift!

Computers Maintenance

Great service & price to match. I was told it would be done by 4pm but within an hour had a call to advise it was ready for collection.

I found the service of Quickfix computers to be excellent and I found them to be helpful in sorting out a big problem I had with my google account. They also helped set me up with a new laptop and gave me lots of useful advice. Overall I would recommend Quickfix computers to anybody for the quality of service they supply.

Visiting the area on holiday (from Australia) and was subjected to a potentially nasty hack to my laptop and data storage devices. At very short notice Ian (aka "Banbury Computer Man") sorted it all out for me in a matter of hours. Very impressed with the service and all at a very reasonable price. Ian also gave additional tips and advice, and generally tidied up my hardware. I would highly recommend his services.

Exceptional service, highly recommended. I have some experience with PC building but was unable to diagnose an issue I had with a new build that would not boot. After dropping off my PC, the problems were quickly isolated (incompatible BIOS version for processor and PSU issues) and fixed. Very thorough and great communication throughout. Thank you, I would not hesitate to use your service again.

Gift Shops

Fantastic array of home and fashion accessories, gifts - both elegant and funny - an Aladdin's cave and worth every return trip because there is always something new. Also important - don't forget to check the back and upstairs as well as the main space.

What a great shop! Some wonderful things and unique gifts. It's a must for me when needing special birthday presents.

Crafts Shops

My favourite place in Banbury...Brilliant art classes in different media on various days and times.
Well stocked shop with all sorts of things hidden away, for crafts as well as artists.
Friendly and very helpful staff.
Plus a cafe on the same site - what more could you wish for?!

I'm not artistic, by any means, but even I need a bit of advice and guidance on that front occasionally - and the Artery is where I go to get it. Whether it's a new notebook, a new pen or some sort of embellishment for a gift or project - I can always find it here along with lots of ideas.

Cycle Shops

I purchased my bike from these guys back in May and they were really helpful and friendly. They were also very good with their knowledge and helping me choose the right bike. I purchased an electric bike and I love it as it enables me to cycle any route without having to worry about climbing hills.

Not often I put pen too paper but the sales team and mechanics need some recognition for there outstanding service.
My Whyte Montpellier was bought from new in 2014 unfortunately through no fault of there’s it’s been plagued with many faults, from rear cassettes failing, rear free hub bearing breaking ,gear selector failing including cables, then the whole chassis failed which needed replacing, all of this was in the first 12months of ownership.
Recently after having a service, which is on an annual basis my braking system failed, which in turn meant my front brake system had to be shipped back to sram.
Unfortunately sram can’t supply parts too late August which meant my summer bike was now out of action for the season.
I received a call today to say my bike is ready for collection, my Montpellier has been fitted with a temporary part allowing me to enjoy summer season riding.
I can’t tell you how they’ve made my day, restoring my faith in good human nature,
Making me an extremely happy cyclist.

Local DIY superstores and smaller Do It Yourself shops, decorating suppliers and ironmongers selling home improvement materials such as building supplies, paint, electrical and plumbing goods, etc. in OX16.

It's a mark of how good the store is that I travel to banbury from Bicester to shop there. Bicester a has a Wickes and a Bunnings but never seem to have what I want. Great staff at B&Q, plenty of parking.
The worst thing is trying to get back onto Southam Road as it's always so busy specially now the y have built waitrose opposite the junction.

Didn't have what I wanted in stock but we're very helpful with ordering what I wanted. Downside was I couldn't order & collect but had to pay £5 delivery😡

Gob smacked at the tidy up and re vamp at Wickes Banbury, Southam Road. Would like to see security tightened as I found a lot of multi small piece packs had been opened and bits pilfered by cheap jack people who risk a heavy fine for theft for what a thirty pence theft. Will continue to use the store as it has some great prices.

Just letting you know that we have been delighted with the helpful way your staff have provided us with quotes for the refurbishment of our bathroom, two en-suites and the downstairs cloakroom.
Irfan Litt visited us and was thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and listened carefully to what we were looking for. We didn't for a moment feel that we were being pressured and felt entirely comfortable that he was acting in our interests.
The quotation meeting a week later was not only well presented but also very competitive and in stark contrast to other frustrating attempts to get quotes.
This morning Jenny Tygrys helped us fine tune the project, again showing patience and professionalism, so making the decision to give you the go ahead was the easy bit.
Can you please convey our thanks.
Peter and Denise Caswell

Hire Shops

I called Gem Tool Hire in Banbury to hire a wet vacuum cleaner to clean a carpet. When I arrived, the guys asked me what I was using it for and suggested that this Karcher carpet cleaner would be a better tool for the job and it was cheaper to hire. They also gave me some great tips on how to get the best out of the machine and avoid unnecessary effort. Great machine, great service and much less expensive than I thought it would be. Fantastic!

Gem Tool Hire in Banbury is excellent they have most tools big or small if you don't own them yourself at very compatible rates

Open to trade or casual customer. The staff are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I am not a trade customer and found staff to extra time to explain products and services and go the extra mile. Staff member Andy especially made a positive impression. Good work fellas!

Local electrical shops selling home appliances and white goods such as fridges, cookers, TVs etc. and services in OX16. You can also find registered members of ELECSA, N.A.P.I.T., NICEIC (National Inspection Council For Electrical Installation Contracting)

Florists

Exceptional at every level. Very helpful in taking a large bespoke order over the phone, ensuring it met my needs, pick up at my convenience etc This is not my nearest florist by a long stretch however it is so great i will always get flowers from there in future given the excellent service. The flowers were beautiful, fresh and looked amazing (they were gifts) and were excellent value for money as well. Someone even offered and helped me back to the car with them.
Superb service - cannot recommend highly enough - buy your flowers from there!

Wonderful utterly wonderful. The store atmosphere is something that I found so peaceful and so full of serenity that I found myself battling myself on whether or not to leave. The prices of the flowers themselves I found to be very reasonable and definitely to a high quality. I would very rarely see a flower on the front room displays that was withered or past its best. The staff were lovely. While I worked there I was lucky enough to work with 5 of the 8 staff members that ran the store and each was just as friendly as the last. My job wasn't even a very important job and yet still I was made to feel like a member of the castle flowers family. The manager was a brilliant man as well. As apposed to other employers I have had the day I got the sack he was very very nice about it. It wasn't a cold heartless conversation and if I hadn't have moved away I would have gone back to work there after the christmas period.
Thank you very much Sam and Co. That was my first real job and it gave me the best possible start in the world of work,
Andrew Odley

Great tasting, HUGE sandwich - I had the chicken and chorizo but was tempted by several other things on the menu as well as special on display.
Atmosphere as friendly and warm as I have ever experienced (just higgledy-piggledy enough to be eclectic without being jumbled). Service was quick and friendly, listening to them deal with others it was clear they are a regular stop for many, accommodating to favourites and newcomers alike.

Lovely little cafe with a friendly atmosphere. Good value, tasty, fresh food and a great Americano.

A really good range of supplements, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, general health foods, eco cleaning and skin care products. Always friendly and helpful and happy to advise. Good prices. Nothing is too much trouble. A brilliant local shop.

Quiet off main shopping street. Lots of stock but not as many deals to be had as other chain whole food shops. Nice to see other products I've not found elsewhere though.

Tend to only stock items they want to stock rather than what customers want to buy. No sandwich thins or thick cut marmalade again today! Almost no choice of healthier low fat ready meals or coleslaw, refuse to stock actimel.

This is a quiet little shop just off the main road in the grimsbury area of Banbury. If you don't know this is here you are unlikely to find by chance. More pricey than other convenience stores in the local area and slightly more expensive. Staff are friendly and the queues are certainly shorter. If you are someone who cares about quality and service this is probably for you. Otherwise avoid for the other stores.

Excellent service from the moment I walked in until the next day when I returned to collect the machine. It required a new pull start cord and I was amazed at the very realistic price. I would happily recommend Cherwell Garden Machinery and if necessary, I will use them again.

Took my mower in Monday, the mechanic was able to diagnose my problem, a new carb was fitted and was ready by Friday. I was pleasantly surprised at the bill - only £36, and the mower is working perfectly, both my lawns are now pristine again!

Visited Warren James in Banbury to pick out my engagement ring with my fiance, we looked at all the different rings in the window and when I chose one that I liked we went in to the shop. We were instantly being helped by a lovely woman, she told us about the ring and was so helpful. I have very small fingers so had to get a resize but she was very helpful with that also. Great customer service and great prices for lovely jewellery!

Pet Supplies

Always get a warm welcome from staff. Often get given treats for my dogs whenever they are with me. Very knowledgeable team who will take time to discuss anything you need. Have made a lot of visits for my variety of animals and never been disappointed. Never left empty handed either. Even been given free samples of new foods to try with my fussy husky which was a blessing.

I have been going to Crofts for many years. All the staff are amazing, so helpful, very kind and understanding, nothing is too much trouble. Prices are as good as anywhere. Lets keep our independent high street shops in business.

Sports Equipment and Cycling Shops

I was served on the 11th September 2016 by a personable lady she was highly professional helpful and kind and put me at ease. I am 70 years old and was buying Adidas Tracksuit so her kindness was appreciated
Her name is Hope. I think that she is an asset to Jd Sports
Thank you

Very good atmosphere, very clean and easy to shop. Friendly and helpful customer service 👍

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Got my gait analysed for free which was a nice bonus.

Best Sports shop in town by a country mile!
local owner for 20 years +
her service is relaxed, friendly, and knowledgeable! unlike other shops of similar in the area.
Before I went here I didn't know about different type of sports trainers, or what a gateway was!
now I do and have the appropriate footwear not just a pair that I like the look of.
I can't say if the price is cheaper here, but frankly I don't care. Service like of which you get here is worth the extra if indeed that is the case, if not then I'd gladly pay more!

Friendly staff and they stocked what I wanted. Overall I am a happy customer.

Have been coming here for years. Blinkhorns offer the best service and trusted advice. Very knowledgeable team and always look after me with my requirements. Highly recommend!

Would differently recommend Blinkhorns, I have been buying my Hi-Fi and tv's from for over 10 yrs . If i have had any questions on what product to buy they have no problem in putting me in right direction what products is best for my needs. Always best to try and buy local.

These professional cake makers come highly recommended from me. I bought a 60th Birthday cake for my father, not only did they have it completed in a short space of time for me, Patrick even stayed late for me to pick it up. Beautifully presented and made the Birthday that all the more special. Everyone asked where I'd bought it from....which I duly told them, the cake shop Banbury! Thanks guys!

I can 100% recommend these master cake makers.
They made a cake for my wife's 40th and not only did it look amazing but the chocolate sponge tasted absolutely divine too.

Wine and Spirits wholesalers

Went to the Italian Larder yesterday, very impressed with the large variety of genuinely good Italian food.
Zoe was extremely welcoming and is a really nice person who made you feel very relaxed.
The olives they have are varied in flavour but all very nice.
Before we went in we were not sure what to buy our daughter in law for a birthday present, Zoe solved the problem and put together a Hamper which we know our daughter in law enjoy.
We shall definitely be returning.
